3- During the 1995/96 season, Manchester United wore a Gray colored away uniform.

This uniform was very unpopular and thought to be jinxed.

Manchester United Consistently performed poorly when wearing the gray kit.

Late in the season in an away match vs. Southampton, Manchester United wearing that uniform went down to a 0-3 deficit by halftime.

During halftime, Sir Alex Ferguson ordered his players to take the gray jerseys off and wear the third uniform (blue and white).

Manchester United lost the match 1 to 3.

4- During the 1987/88 season (May 7th, 1988), Werder Bremen striker Frank Ordenewitz during a match with Koln (lost 0-2) admitted to the referee that he had committed a handball offense in the penalty kick area.

5- During the 1989/90 season, with the Italia 90 World Cup approaching, the Italian national team was struggling in consistently scoring goals and not performing as a cohesive unit.

With his club riding high in the League and Europe, AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi suggested that Milan players should represent the national team en masse.

Italy manager Azeglio Vicini responded that every President is in love with his players and that a coach must make decisions objectively.

He went on to say that Milan’s most effective players were its foreign duo of Dutchmen Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard and during matches where both were missing through injury, Milan was an average side.

In regard to Ordenewitz, three years later he deliberately got himself sent off in a DFB cup semi-final so that he could play in the final (he served his suspension for a Bundesliga game prior to the DFB Cup Final).
